The natural process by which greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat radiated from the Earth’s surface, maintaining the planet’s temperature at a level suitable for life.
Due to anthropogenic (human-caused) greenhouse gases like carbon and methane that we release into the atmosphere, this greenhouse effect leads to global warming, climate change, and devastating effects on our environment.
